Shibori, Resist, Tinfix Experiment
This was another experiment at a Silk Retreat. First we twist-wrapped the silk on a tube and dunked it into boiling dye. That is the Shibori technique. Then I stretched the silk and looked at the fine lines left by the twist, and drew complementary resist lines. That was then painted with TinFix dyes. I overpainted the white left by the Shibori technique, too. This is a close up of the 11 x 60" silk. It is fun and wearable. I think it would be fun on a hat! $50.00
